The sites are grouped within their cities and are thoroughly indexed for easy access to information on every site.

"This book traces a complicated, terrible and fascinating history from 1914 to the present. A wealth of historical documents are presented including the Reich's rules "defining" Jews, letters documenting the Holocaust, and transcripts of court testimony regarding the conference."--BOOK JACKET.
